gatita Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 This might be the wrong section, if it is, bite me. Okay, Im joking. Anyway, I recently started using paintpens on canvas, to "paint", and I LOVE IT!!!?!?! Does anyone else do this? Right now Im working on two 18x24" paintings, one of a lotus on fire, one of koi, cherry blossoms, fan etc., etc. Heres a detail of the koi one: http://cabo.myspace.com:80/34/15/85143/14122417_l.jpg'> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyLazy Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 Sometiems I use paint pens for detailed things or outlines. But I usually just use acrylic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slave_one Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 nice; it almost looks like acrylic. i only use them after i've painted the canvass w/acrylics; usually to outline or add highlights or something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyLazy Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 It doesn't look like you have this problem, but I find that with the paint pens that I've used, they are a lot more glossy than the acrylic. So it looks kinda weird sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gatita Posted July 14, 2004 Author Share Posted July 14, 2004 Crazy- Actually it is pretty glossy, but I like the affect. Looks like I used oils with a glossy gel basically. Thanks for the feedback. Ill post the fineshed ones in Blackbook under canvas most like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEE38 Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 gatita its turning out nicely! well.. ive had a bad experience with paint pens..... like they said it comes out glossy but yours looks real good. the worse is using a paint pen, say a black one, then spraypainting over it.. and it leaves this ugly purplish/metallic gloss.. its almost impossible to get rid of unless i guess you gesso it again. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 455 Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 looks pretty good-if you want to enhance the glossy effect even more and preserve the texture..I would recommend laying about 3 coats of clear over the top of it....the colors will also be turn out much more vibrant.....

Polyerethane [i know I spelt that wrong.. my bad..]? or what else do you feel is appropriate? I began adding the fan in to bring the two fish together more.. and I still have to add detail to the lower white koi (you can see the full painting here www.cinella.net/koifull.jpg) Obviously in the photo the fan hasnt been added yet. Another thing; this thread wasnt really supposed to be a crit of my work, but rather a discussion on paint pens. Lets talk paint pens, what do you guys feel is the best one? I use deco but I found this other type [dont know the name off hand] that works a lot better and the tip doesnt fuck up as easily. But the only prob is they are a tad more expensive and also dont mix well with Deco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zack Morris Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 I am with you on the deco's, except for silvers and golds. The krylon paint pens work awesome for those colors. They are so bright and the best part is if you give them 5 minutes to dry you can outline over then with absolutely no problem. I have played with uni's alot and I like them for filling things in and doing large sections of work but thats as far as I can use them. The nibs on the smaller ones tend to get too juicy to get a good clean line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weapon X Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 Fuckin’ artists. I don’t understand what half the words in this thread mean…but I like that drawing, no doubt. You’ve got skeels, from what my untrained eye can tell. *Except I can’t see any bends in the fish…like around the tail, know what I mean? It looks sorta like it just flops down. But I know nothing. Really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
